I have a XRONDTMLMethod that makes it automatically every X hours. You
could copy the code there in a DTMLMethod and call it when you like (or
in a python script, too). This is the piece of code:

<dtml-call "catalog.manage_catalogClear()">
<dtml-call
"catalog.manage_catalogFoundItems(REQUEST,RESPONSE,URL1,URL1+'/catalog',
obj_metatypes=3D['Folder'])">

'catalog' is the name of the ZCatalog object, which is located in the
same folder as the XRONDTMLMethod. If you want to catalog objects of
type 'File', change the 'Folder' for 'File'.
